"Then said he also to him that bade him, when thou makes a dinner or supper, call not your friends or brethren, neither your kinsmen or your rich neighbors, lest they bid you again and a recompense be made to you. But when you make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind; for they cannot recompense you: for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the just."

This was a great year of harvest. Thank you to so many people that helped in the garden. The garden was able to make a significant impact on feeding the hungry in our community. (Kristi harvested from the garden to deliver to the Center of Hope and the Salvation Army.)

2012 growing season

New Life Pentecostal Church is committed to growing and delivering fruit and vegetables to provide fresh produce to all the food pantries and kitchens that provide food to the hungry in Kankakee County.
